The combination of sodium borohydride and amberlyst-15(H+) in tetrahyd
rofurane is a powerful reductor for unreactive ketones. The reduction
is fast, high-yielding and the work-up is extremely simple. Ketals, si
lyl ethers and other organic functions are not disturbed during the re
duction. Copyright (C) 1996 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd
